Figure 8 Retro-fit Adapter (if applicable)

WARNING: Retro-fit Adapters are gas-specific and will only fit into the appropriate rough-in. DO NOT modify any components to insert the Adapters, or try to force the Adapters into the rough-ins.

WARNING: Orient and secure gas hoses so that they do NOT create a “valley” (i.e., A “U”-shape).

10. Attach all removed items:

• Panels (must clip in properly where applicable)

• Devices, extension rings and cover plates

NOTE: If the Panel has openings for devices, pull the devices through the openings before clipping the Panel onto the Frame.
